Bildad Answers Job

25 
Then Bildad from Shuah answered:

“God is the ruler.

He makes people fear and respect him.

He keeps peace in his kingdom above.

No one can count his stars.[a]

His sun rises on all people.

How can anyone claim to be right before God?

No human being[b] can really be pure.

In God’s eyes even the moon is not pure and bright;

even the stars are not pure.

People are much less pure.

They are like maggots, as worthless as worms!”
